Also in briton the ancient folks have lived there for many thousands of years. They only grew important to the rest of Europe after the celtic invasion, when the Iron Age first was introduced to those islands. They could expand and slowly build up an empire.
During this invasion the Britons ended up changing their culture to the costums of the Celtic people, they got to live in smal communities then, bound together by their religious believes and similar language. They were warriors, living for the glories of battle and plunder.

Germania was inhabited by different tribes, the vast majority Germanic, but also a few minor folks. The tribal and ethnic makeup changed over the centuries as a result of assimilation and migrations. The Germanic people spoke several different dialects.

The Slavs, who spoke a branch of Indo-European, first moved to Europe from West Asia around 2000 BC, about the same time as the Greeks moved to Greece. The Slavs settled rather in the north, in the area of modern Poland.
The slavs believed in their own mythology, with the gods of weather, Dievas, Perkunas, Vels and Zemes, though the names often varied between the different tribes.

Most of the Balts lived in small villages of 200 to 250 people, mostly located near to lakes or rivers, near the woods so that they could hide themselves easily. Each of those housing comunities had their own chief, who was elected by the inhabitants. They were comunity loving people, loved to sing and dance alot, and lived for their religion. They believed in many gods who created the world, as well as other devine creatures.

Since 600 BC Gaul is inhabited by several celtic tribes who brought the gallic language to these regions. little villages were built, which were lead by the upper class of the Gauls, the aristocracy. Those rich people had slaves, farmers and warriors under their command.
The druids played an important role in the villages in gaul. After some years of studying they were the lawyer, priest, teacher and healer in the community. Once a year, all druids in the whole of Gaul met in a secret place, to exchange their knowledge.
